Iran may be an ideological threat to US and an economic threat to Israel, but it is not a military threat to either one. (I won’t give stats to verify this assertion; the military strengths of the three counties may be googled easily enough)

The chicken hawks in US and Israel know this fact. However, the military industrial complex in the US and the supremacist in Israel need a new bogyman and after the fall of the Soviet Union Iran is it. They need to justify the excessive military spending in the US and the “defensive” expansionist policies in Israel somehow. So, in true Hollywood fashion, they yell from the roof tops:

Last Sunday, 60 Minutes, the news program on CBS, had a piece on Israeli air-force doing practice runs for air attacks on "suspected" Iranian nuclear facilities. All These facilities are in populated areas. There is going to be heavy civilian casualties, regardless of predictions to the contrary.

You tell me... Are those lives worth discussing?... Did we discuss it enough?...Did the congress vote to go war?... Because nobody will believe Israel attacked Iran without American approval and support... And, because US will be pulled into this war if it starts.

I'm saying there are several threads (most in the political and current events section) you could discuss this from. I don't see how what you've provided here runs anything different. I'm not trying to kill anything you're saying, but as to not make these kinds of topics redundant, it's best to provide new information rather than "parrot" what has already been discussed.

If I don’t like the topic or I don’t want to make a
comment about it, I just leave it and let anyone do their stuff. We do have
freedom of speech, don’t we? All we need is respect so that others will respect
us too and no more heated, useless arguments.

And those who annoy believing men and women undeservedly, bear (on themselves) a calumny and a glaring sin. Quran33:59
